I am in need of a stacked switch that has at least two 3-ways and a single, or three 3-ways will do. The existing configuration is a two-gang box with a double stack single pole and a double stack 3-way and I need to make room for a timer switch, replacing one of the single poles. Very tight spaces so I would liketo find the switch before I resort to cutting in a new box. Thanks. Supply houses have already turned me down to finding one.

There are those old modular switches the you can mix and match devices on a strap . I think you can still get those. I forget the name though.

DESPARD is the name

I would hope cheaper than cutting in a new box and rearranging wires.

$50? I mean I wouldn't do it for that if it was the only thing I was doing, but for the 20 minutes it would probably take me to do it, $50 ain't that bad and the money goes in my pocket instead of Despard's.

It is getting harder to find IC devices that have screw terminals lately around here at the usual places to find IC switches. The ones sold here now have only back stab holes. So if the existing switch wiring is #12 that ends that. I try to do whatever possible I can to avoid using or replacing a despard with another despard. Usually that means getting out the rotozip.
